If some of 2012′s Oscar-nominated movies were given more accurate titles, they might look something like these (the last one is my favorite):
This is just one of those things you have to see to believe.
You have to give him a hand, playing Street Fighter one handed would be hard enough, let alone against yourself.
Wait.
Maybe you wouldn’t give him a hand?
I don’t know, either way, enjoy the video:
Here are 18 futuristic machines as they were imagined in the 1940s. These kind of Popular Mechanic styled stuff always intrigues me, as our imaginative ideas of the future are limited to the confines of what we know to be true, today.
These 18 illustrations will capture your attention from both a technical perspective, as well as the design. They are truly inspiring on multiple levels.
You’ll eat them up, I promise.
Buon appetito!
The new year has begun and we’ve already made it to the last Saturday Sunday Share in January!
In risk of sounding cliche, time flies!
The last few weeks of shares have been dynamite, take a look at last week’s:
In today’s tech battles, one of the prime weapons used between competing companies is patents.
Patents were originally created to promote technology, whereas now, it used for high priced lawsuits and “tech-industry shakedowns” that can kill an upstart before it can even gain any footing.
Here’s a sharp look at the problem with today’s patent system:
The State of the Union address was given Tuesday night by President Obama. Twitter did a very clever marketing and research tactic. They issued five specific hashtags to track during the speech to see the reaction of tweets. The five hashtags were:
- #Education
- #Energy
- #Fairness
- #Jobs
- #Manufacturing
Of these five, #Education was the most tweeted and #Manufacturing was the least. Here is an infographic about the tweets in regards to the President’s speech.
If you’ve never heard of Steam, it’s a PC/Mac gaming portal (like an iTunes App Store) that gives its users instant access to over 1,100 games that can be purchased, downloaded and played from any computer. There is also a community you can engage in, chat with friends while gaming, get automatic game updates and best of all, enjoy Steam-only special offers that included low prices and free-play weekends.
With a soon to be released mobile app, users will be able to purchase new game releases and special offers straight from their iPhone or Android, something that previously could only be done from the Steam desktop app.
If those in support of SOPA/PIPA were really interested in stopping piracy, they would follow Steam’s lead.
Last week, my wife asked me about one of my tweets.
This normally isn’t a big deal, since it’s certainly not the first time she’s asked me about one of my tweets. What made this situation unique, was the fact that I hadn’t actually penned the tweet myself.
I was happy to find it wasn’t SPAM. No one wants to “be that guy,” but I still wasn’t comfortable with tweets going out that were not actually mine.
Why did it happen?
I had given permission on my Twitter account to an online app a number of months ago. I promptly revoked the permission and went through and cleaned up my Twitter account permissions.
Now, what about Facebook, LinkedIn and others?
Here is a handy tool to help you determine what apps have permissions to access your private information:
This is what you get when you combine the television shows “24″ and “ER” into one program. The result is Danger Hospital!!!
Mixing these two “worlds” results in a pretty ridiculous scenario.
Is the Church doing the same thing every Sunday morning?
